Being able to put your emissary flag back up after you sink !

@maakasa the flag is a symbol of the accomplishments you have done and loot you have gathered for that faction without sinking. When you sink, the faction was dishonored hence you lost the grade it had.

Reattaching would not make sense regardless of how you sank.

@personalc0ffee , @scurvywoof

Didn't they patch out the cheese that you could raise or lower a flag when not in proximity of an Outpost ?

Why would they bring half of that back ?

Lol true story. Raise grade 1 reaper, scuttle, wait to reattach til after you sink a grade 5 anything. Pocket Reaper returns!

I think here are some things that collide.

Its not only about lore (losing reputation because you sink with the flag of a Xy). Its also about what makes the game fun and what is bad. Which are extremes, yes.

If you would stick a lvl5 flag back to just get a lvl5 on your ship this would just be cheese.
I could sink my own ship and just burie the flag, than take it back later. Perhaps it could increase the fun for some people, but it would send player the message that you dont need to take a risk.
And there is no way around it like your ship needs to be sunk by another player. Because then you need a foolprove way to say: This ship got sunk by player xy

What is more importend than the lvl 5athena flag? The emissionary quest. Sometimes you get sunk just before you can collect it.
What if you get your flag back, you can exchange it for the quest? Better than nothing!

I would like to see, that you can get the flag back at your ship with lvl1. But... you need to teach the player a new mechanik like: go to your flagbox and but it up.

Also: Any mechanic like this promotes revenge.

Shouldn't have lost your flag to begin with.

And another “let’s put the fallen flag back up” post.

Been asked. The argument is between
Yes and no but for me, a punishment is required just because you failed to defend your faction.

I don't get it?

It only counts for 1 time after you touch loot, right?

I know about waiting until you put up the flag to put loot on with a rowboat.

The way pocket Reaper worked is you vote in a minority (only 1 crew member votes to raise) and then once you sink your target, before touching loot, everyone but the player who votes logs out and back in. Once they log out, flag goes up and you start collecting the loot/raising your flag grade.

Allowing people to re-attach, even if it drops your flag to grade 1 when you re-attach your flag, would allow this again. You raise your flag, scuttle, retrieve your flag and re-attach it on your new ship only after you sink your target before touching any of their loot.
